I bought a pair of used Paradigm Reference speakers which are in mint condition, except they have a streaky drip of white latex paint running down one of the edges. Ugh!! I know it doesn't matter, but any ideas how to get it off without defacing the speaker at all? Or should I just leave it alone. These are very expensive speakers and I definitely don't want to devalue them stupidly by trying to take off this paint. Any ideas?

Latex paint is water soluble, so in simple terms use standard cleansing soap & water. each and every each and every now and then the pigments interior the paint get trapped in decrease than the fingernails, & different cracks interior the exterior, so i exploit a hand scrubbing brush if so. it is going to't be too confusing to bathe off latex paint. while you're having rather some worry then it fairly is not rather latex paint you're dealing with.

Buy a small can of Goof Off from your paint store or Home Depot and try it in a place where it is not visible...if ok then use it on the paint spot..

de natured alcohol, but will probably ruin the varnish too, at any home depot. best bet is to carefully scrape with a razor, (must have very strong hands), until almost gone, then lightly sand with very fine, (400 grit) sand paper paper, wipe dust away with a clean cloth, and use a clear coat spray

We just had a painter in to do our master bedroom and he told us that denatured alcohol cuts thru latex paint like a hot knife thru butter. Dissolves and removes it instantly. Remember this is denatured alcohol, not isopropyl (spelling?) You can get the denatured at the pharmacy, you may have to ask for it.

goof off or a bottle of rubbing alcohol and a paper towel gently wipe you may have to do this repeatedly to get it all off but you can take your time and preserve the speaker..
